Relationship between Personality Traits and Help-seeking Behaviour of Undergraduate Students
Journal Title: Qlantic Journal of Social Sciences - QJSS - Year 2023, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
The individual knows that he or she needs assistance to solve the problem. Yet, seeking assistance may be associated with an open admission of failure and dependence on others. These anticipated psychological costs often hinder the seeking of help, which may result in the intensification of the problem. This study aimed to assess the relationship between personality traits and the help-seeking Behaviour of undergraduate students. The study employed a quantitative and descriptive research design. All the undergraduate students of the education department of district Lahore were the proposed population of the current research. The study sample comprised 538 undergraduate students using a stratified sampling technique. A questionnaire containing 54 items was used as a data collection instrument. Results showed a significant relationship between personality traits and the help-seeking Behaviour of undergraduate students. It was recommended that the potential utility of understanding and harnessing individual personality differences and their help-seeking Behaviour should be boosted among the students at the undergraduate level.
